I hear you sir, but that is not the game anymore. Honestly I support it if they only come out and say it and not lie still saying "BU" or "AU"....
I agree. That coin should be AU55-58. 62 with the issues and porosity would be a "not really like but not going to fall on a sword over" grade. 65...
Very important point too many people miss. My gosh, ancient coins are kind of the definition of long held collectibles. I am sure there are many...
I view it the same. Since I probably have "enough", Anything north of $15 is too pricey, and south of $40 is too cheap to take me out of a long...
Yeah, love Norwich. His book on Venice is my favorite read of his.
A scrape or any other type of imperfection I believe would depend on what is important about the coin to you. If its one side versus the other,...

Much more willpower than I sir. I tend to just toss in a box and put the box in the corner. However, I do find myself pawing through the boxes for...
This. Very common especially on 1970's era coins.
Any chance to expand sir? I do not know much about doubled dies, but know its always preached you need separated serifs. This one to me appears to...

Glad you pronounced it correctly. Maybe needs a couple more letters, Minisooota. Accent not too thick around the Twin cities, but up north I heard...
You think the Redditers will attack silver? Even if they did, the basis between market and physical will simply expand. The last time someone...
